In carrying out our invention,A represents the top of lamp; B, the wick-tube. C is the extinguishing attachment, provided with a weighted end, C, the construction beingsuch that when the lamp is burning the gravity of the weight C holds the cap C to be out of the through one of the holes in the perforated plate of the gallery E, while two small arms,
